No Poo Dry Shampoo

I have tried MANY brushes to see which one works best for applying my No Poo powder. This retractable, vegan/cruelty free, brush works so well and great for on the go and throwing into your drawer. The bristles are protected in the retractable style, preventing excess dust and other materials from making your brush more dirty. So wonderful for on the go as well! 

Aloe Vera is a great moisturiser for natural hair. If you are struggling with dry hair, then aloe vera can provide your hair with some essential nutrients.

Aloe vera contains a high concentration of water so it can be a great addition to your hair routine in order to keep your strands moisturised.

It helps with strengthening and repairing hair strands.

There are some great vitamins contained within aloe vera namely vitamin A, C and E.  These vitamins can help to keep your strands healthy and stong which can help to prevent any further damage to your hair strands.

Applying aloe vera to your scalp increases blood circulation.  When circulation is good it promotes better hair growth which is good news for you.

Several of the minerals in sea kelp along with iodine will promote a healthier scalp and stronger hair. Sea kelp has been added to shampoos, conditioner, and hair treatments for strengthening and nourishing hair and scalp. Our hair and scalp need proper hydration and sea kelp will hydrate both and improve dry hair.

Palmarosa oil is rich in linalool and limonene – which are essential compounds for encouraging and promoting healthy, strong hair. Linalool is practically one of the main chemical compounds that constitutes Vitamin E. Vitamin E is commonly found in most hair and skin treatment products, and is considered a strong anti-oxidant.

This means that it can be applied to your scalp as a means of removing excess oil or dead skin cells that often gather on the scalp during the course of your day and nourishes your hair from the roots – making the follicles stronger and increasing elasticity which will help to prevent damage.

Witch hazel’s astringent nature is great for decreasing oil in your skin and scalp; the liquid has anti-inflammatory and sebum-control properties. Topical witch hazel is an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory.

Jojoba is rich in vitamins and minerals that nourish hair, including vitamin C, B vitamins, vitamin E, copper, and zinc.

Soak your stress and worries away with my lovely bath salt soaks that are PACKED with good for you ingredients! (Lasts about 3-5 baths)

Into the Woods is my relaxing soak with 3 different salts. Epsom + Himalayan + Dead Sea Salts mixed with jojoba and pine essential oil and pine needles!

Pine is used for upper and lower respiratory tract swelling (inflammation), stuffy nose, hoarseness, common cold, cough or bronchitis, fevers, tendency towards infection, and blood pressure problems. Some people apply pine directly to the skin for mild muscle pain and nerve pain.

In the Lovely Lavender Soak, coconut milk nourishes the skin by combating dry itchy skin, and reducing inflammation. The essential fatty acids in coconut milk help to hydrate and balances the skins' ph. The result is balanced, healthy and glowing skin!

Epsom + Himalayan salt bathwater can soften rough, dry skin, and exfoliate dead skin cells. It may also soothe skin affected by skin conditions, including eczema and psoriasis.

Lavender essential oil is soothing and relaxing.

Baking soda also contains anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.

Oats can help boost collagen production, improve your skin complexion, and can reduce skin inflammation.

 In my Pumpkin Spice Latte Beneficial Bath Soak get ready for a real treat…no tricks! I have specifically curated this bath soak to give all the fall feels AND benefit the skin and body(I also provide an unbleached tea bag in case you want to scoop some of the bath soak into it for a quicker clean up). Bath may be slippery after, please rinse after bathing.

The star of this bath is magnesium flakes. Magnesium is a common and essential mineral found in the body, that the body can't produce itself, so we need to ensure that we are receiving enough. It's the organising atom in chlorophyll, converting sunlight to energy in plants. In the human body, magnesium is present in over 300 enzyme systems, regulating blood pressure, synthesising proteins, and monitoring muscle and nerve functions. Benefits of magnesium flake baths-

• Crucial for general wellbeing
• Supports healthy bones
• Improves skin health
• Helps you relax for a good night’s sleep
• Relieves muscle tension

Next is organic buttermilk. This gentle milk bath will leave your skin soft and silky. Buttermilk is high in fat and lactic acid, and both help soften and hydrate skin.

Apricot oil will make your skin feel so hydrated, it’s my favorite to use! I infuse orange, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg essential oil into the apricot oil so it acts as a carrier oil and also sprinkle pumpkin spice for that added fall scent!

Himalayan salt aka mineral-rich bath water helps the mind to unwind, the body be soothed and even helps the skin soften. Soaking in a Himalayan bath also helps the body to absorb much-needed minerals as your skin cells can soak up everything from magnesium to zinc, copper and calcium, manganese and sodium.

Last is organic coffee. I use decaf in case one wants to bathe at night and doesn’t want to stay awake, but even in small amounts like in this soak, it has many benefits. A soak in a coffee bath, according to some studies, improves circulation, rejuvenates the skin and relaxes the body.

Fresh, inviting with a hint of warm vanilla awaits you with this invigorating yet calming Orange Dreamsicle Bath Soak! I wish you could smell through the screen because it is DIVINE!

Buttermilk moisturizes and brightens our skin, thus can delay aging. All these benefits make buttermilk a blessing for our skin! 

Epsom + Himalayan salt bathwater can soften rough, dry skin, and exfoliate dead skin cells. It may also soothe skin affected by skin conditions, including eczema and psoriasis.

Orange essential oil is astringent and antiseptic in nature; it acts as a natural cleanser to deeply purify and detoxify the skin. Enriched with Vitamin C, it also helps to boost collagen in the skin. 

Vanilla is rich in antioxidants which has the ability to neutralize free radicals and reverse skin damage caused by them. It helps to slow down signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. It not only leaves your skin feeling rejuvenated but also smelling lovely! 

Baking soda also contains anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties.

Oats can help boost collagen production, improve your skin complexion, and can reduce skin inflammation.

Body butters are perfect for the entire body, but especially for dry patches on your elbow and knees. Keep a No Poo Jar in your bag, in the drawer at work and even in the bedside cabinet you can reach it easily any time to sooth your skin. Tip: It is worth applying a second layer on problem areas. The best time is after your daily shower or bath when your skin is still moist. Apply a bit of butter using broad massaging strokes.

Organic Arrowroot Powder helps the body butter to absorb quickly so it doesn’t make it as greasy.

 Use body butter just before going to sleep to help soften your skin. Apply cotton socks and/or gloves overnight for a better result. When you wake up your skin will be super-smooth.

Jojoba oil is a humectant ingredient which means that it works to attract water to the top layer of the skin, helping to keep the skin hydrated. This may help prevent bacterial infections and acne from forming. Jojoba oil contains antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Although jojoba oil is a botanical substance, its makeup is so similar to the oil (sebum) your body naturally produces that your skin can’t tell the difference. This makes it less likely to build up on your skin and clog your pores, leading to fewer breakouts and less severe acne.

Shea butter is an anti inflammatory and an excellent moisturizer. The Vitamin E in this butter is a powerful player in maintaining skin elasticity. As a result, you are a lot less likely to suffer from wrinkles or blemishes when moisturizing with shea butter. Because it's full of antioxidants, unrefined shea butter also fights free radicals, improving the texture and appearance of your skin.

To keep skin soft and eradicate rough skin, cocoa butter can help keep your skin moisturized and prevent dry skin. By providing deep hydration, the butter serves as a protective barrier for the skin, locking in moisture and preventing dryness and roughness. You can use it much like any other moisturizing lotion and it will hydrate your skin without leaving a greasy residue.

The subtle scent or vanilla and cinnamon take you back to a warm kitchen with yummy goodies baking jn the oven…but without artificial fragrance! I use vanilla essential oil/vanilla extract and cinnamon essential oil along with some cinnamon powder. 

The last oil I use is Cold Pressed Olive Oil. It’s a powerful emollient. There are three main types of moisturizers: Humectants, which draw moisture from the air into the skin; occlusives, which physically trap water within the skin; and emollients, which fill in the spaces between dead skin cells to give the skin a more uniform texture. Olive oil falls in the latter category, although some research indicates that it also has mild occlusive effects. Vegetable oils (like olive oil) are known to penetrate the top layers of skin. And when used topically, studies show that olive oil can help soften the skin and improve its texture.

Give your lips a delight with nourishing and organic ingredients! Just the right amount of peppermint that it doesn’t burn your lips like alternative brands. Some of the star ingredients in my No Poo Lip Butter Balm are Shea butter + cocoa butter. These are a wonderful duo aiding in moisture, some benefits include:

Say goodbye to junk filled, over the counter chest rubs and hello to my No Poo vapor rub made with local beeswax, essential oils, coconut oil, and Shea butter to moisturize while aiding in nasal relief! 

• Lightly rub one finger over the formula to apply the optimal amount—a little goes a long way!
• Recommended for 3 months+
• Good for sensitive skin

Tea Tree(Tea Tree essential oil has been well researched, and we know that it's amazing for reducing the presence of germs and clearing infections.
This is thanks to one of the primary natural components that Tea Tree contains. It's called "terpinen-4-ol."
Terpinen-4-ol is what makes Tea Tree essential oil so reliable at helping to clear up something like a cold, the flu, or even a sinus infection.)

Next up I use lavender oil which is known to calm the skin and relax the senses!

Last essential oil I use is Eucalyptus! Highly antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, Eucalyptus oil has been shown to help alleviate allergy symptoms or symptoms of the common cold (such as a stuffy nose or sore throat).
